United States Ninth Circuit

In a landlord-tenant dispute involving an injunction against the eviction of elderly, low-income tenants who wished to pay a portion of their rent using federally-funded enhanced vouchers, injunction is affirmed in part because the individual plaintiffs have a statutory right to remain in the complex, but reversed and remand in part where plaintiffs failed to identify any evidence or statutory authority upon which to base a mandatory injunction compelling defendants to enter into contracts with local housing authority, so long as defendants are willing to forgo payment of that portion of the rent covered by the enhanced vouchers.
